Lyrics
[Intro] [Verse] The meter’s running slow tonight Bathed in that neon light Just me and the radio Nowhere left for us to go Found a scrap of paper there Tangled in the velvet chair It’s a ghost from an hour ago Someone I will never know [Chorus] A bookstore receipt in the back Tracing a ghost on the track We never had a grand design Just a moment frozen in time Funny how the little things stay While the big plans fade away [Verse] You talked about some dusty shelf While I kept my thoughts to myself The rain was tapping on the glass Watching all the dreamers pass You left before I caught your name But the city feels the same Just a fare in a yellow car Wondering where the spirits are [Pre-Chorus] I check the mirror once again Through the fog and through the rain A stranger’s ink on yellowed white Keeping me company tonight [Chorus] A bookstore receipt in the back Tracing a ghost on the track We never had a grand design Just a moment frozen in time Funny how the little things stay While the big plans fade away [Bridge] We build our lives on solid stone Yet end up sitting here alone It’s the paper scrap and the sigh That catch the corner of the eye Not the gold or the heavy crown Just the quiet hum of the town [Instrumental] [Chorus] A bookstore receipt in the back Tracing a ghost on the track We never had a grand design Just a moment frozen in time Funny how the little things stay While the big plans fade away [Post-Chorus] Yeah they fade away In the D-Dorian gray Just the little things stay While the big plans fade away [Outro]
